Anyone how has ever known me, knows that KJ is like my biggest role model. True, when we were wee furlings I used to scream at him, pull his hair and scratch him just because both he and Yance loved to tease me, but I got over that, and then I wanted to follow him everywhere and do whatever he did, especially since he had such cute friends. Now, he is all grown up and getting married in a few weeks and he is so happy. Well, I can't really follow him around anymore, I don't want to scream at him, and I'm not interested in his cute friends (I have a far cuter man of my own), but KJ still is my role model because he is so kind, funny, patient, full of love for God, and he has always been there when I needed him the most. Thanks KJ, I love you. I hope you have a great day, and picture me saying in a Gus-gus voice "Ha-happy birthday!" :)

So it can be really humid and gross and hot here, but it also has the most beautiful moments. Last night there was an awesome lightning storm and the past few days it has just randomly been pouring. It is so gorgeous, and this is a double rainbow that I got a few shots of, so pretty! The Lord has such glorious creations, they take my breath away.

So Josh is getting to be able to move around really well. He is always pulling himself up on things and trying to walk around, but with that comes a lot of bumps and bruises. Josh pulled our length-size mirror on top of himself the other day and it shattered on top of him. Luckily he just had a tiny cut in his hand, nothing serious. Man, babies get into everything!

So last night Tyson and I watched the movie "PS I Love You." I don't think I have cried that hard in years. And since Tyson promised me not to tell, Tyson didn't cry at all. :) It felt really good to know that someone loves me so much, that it breaks his heart at just the thought of me leaving. After the movie was over we just held each other for a long time. It feels so good to love someone so much. I can't wait for every morning waking up to his face, or the sound of him singing in the shower, or him kissing me goodbye as he goes off to work. And I call him right at 5 just because I can't bear to be away from him one more minute than I have to. Sometimes I think that I drive him crazy because he never really gets alone time, but I know that he loves me and he wouldn't have it any other way. This morning I have been remembering all the fun times we have had. How he asked me out for our first date while he was on the phone with his mom. How he suprised me at the airport when I got back from spring break and two days later we got engaged. How we used to play spitting games into the sink to see who had the best aim. Going through the temple for the first time with him there smiling at me, watching me and loving that I was there. Getting sealed to him and knowing we would never really be apart for very long. Deciding to have a baby and getting pregnant a month after. Watching him be a daddy, and blessing our baby. Our marshmallow gun wars and water fights. Tyson is just so much fun and I only feel whole when he is around. I cannot imagine how hallow and empty I would feel without him, but as we talked about it last night, how that is each other's greatest fear, I realized that because of the Lord, we don't really have to be scared at all. I mean, if Tyson died, sure it would be the worst thing ever, and I have no idea how Josh and I would survive, but the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, but the Lord never leaves us. He always loves us and He would only do what was best for us. And I know that as long as I keep my covenants, then I would see Tyson again, and we are married forever. The Lord has been so good to me, I am so blessed. I am really glad for that movie, it made me stop all my worrying about everything we don't have and be thankful for the wonderful things that I do have. And Tyson, I love you.

About Me

I am happily married to the handsomest guy, we have five adorable little boys, and I babysit two other little guys. Needless to say, life is full of mud, burping, jumping, rough housing, and some really great stories. I write because I love it and I want to remember the little moments. I DON'T make super gorgeous food and crafts, mostly everything I create ends up not looking like a magazine picture, but we have a lot of fun in the process. I love the Lord and I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as a Mormon.
